Scout or pistol scope on Rossi?
« on: July 07, 2008, 11:20:35 AM »
Hello, I just bought a New Stainless Rossi Single Shot in .357 and would like to mount a long relief scout or pistol scope on it after chopping it down to 16". Has anybody here done that and what was the end result performance wise? Thanks

It's not a Rossi, but close enough.  NEF 22 Mag with a pistol scope on it.  I used a TC scope mount, it has the correct raidus base for the front of the barrel where it is mounted.  I would go with a little longer barrel, a 16 inch one puts the muzzel below your ear if you carry it on a sling which I really don't like.  These things are short anyway.  This one has an 18 inch barrel.  Larry

A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.
